Been out of the game for around 5 or 6 years now but I just picked up this mint hatch with auto tranny and I'm looking for people's opinions. For simplicity sake which would you swap in it? B18A/B/C fully rebuilt or a K series swap from hmo? Back when I worked on these all the time I swapped literally hundreds of B series swaps into eg's and ef's.

Remember, this is an automatic transmission car. Reason why I'm asking is I'm already stock piling parts like an SI gauge cluster and replacement shift boot console for when I switch to a manual transmission.

 

what you planing to do with it?

 

B18c1

 

Nothing race just trying to make a fun daily.

 

B16b is a bad *** swap. I have one and its a awsome daily driver.

 

A B would be the easiest swap to do.


However, if you've that many swaps, I am sure you could handle a K.


A k24/k20 would make a very fun little DD. Not the most cost efective swap though.

 

h22 ftw

 

k motors are expensive and i've never been thoroughly impressed with any b series motor unless they're built. if it were me i would drop in a b18 and throw on some bolt ons for a little extra. just dont be one of those guys that thinks they're jesus because they have a nearly stock b motor in their car lol.

 

H22a...only choice

 

My last b series swap was one I built for a guy with a pt67 turbo that produced 651hp and 600+ tq. That was 6 years ago. And intake and fart can doesn't impress me. I was just curious if the k series has come down any to make it a worth my while

 

i'd stay with a b.

 

up to you I would go with a B series I'm working up the cash to do mine

 

Done a few h22's and the drivability never impressed me. It's like trying to stop a freight train with the size of the brakes these things have and if you've ever driven in a slalom with one you'd think twice about trying to dodge a cab driver or a jackass on his cell with one
